When we saw what looked like an old Pizza Brain logo, we knew we had to try this place.
TDLR: we enjoyed our food a lot.
It has a fun look: lounge area with sofa, wood-paneled bar area, cartoon murals.
There's a lot happening.
Seating is at the bar, on long tables like a very nice cafeteria or beer hall, some small bistro tables and tall tables. Old TV like Rocko's Modern Life on the big screens. Staff wear casual clothes with 80s/90s inspired accents.
Menu has starters like you'd see at a "gastropub." We really enjoyed the charred broccolini with almond tahina (think almond butter).
The plain Jane pizza was great. Loved the thin crust, the sauce that was bright (not sweet), and a layer of cheese that was, to me, perfect. Not a fancy pizza, but pizza like I remember from neighborhood pizza parlors a a kid.
The pasta was a surprise. They make it in house. Spaghetti had a perfect, toothsome bite. With a cream sauce and chestnuts, it was a very fancy--and tasty--dish we weren't expecting looking at the "basement play room" atmosphere.
Love this addition to what is becoming an exciting block of Spring Garden!
